You covered all the ones I initially thought of, as well as classics I'd forgotten (Darkplace). Also did well to disconnect the title sequences from the show...

Many shows I love but their title sequences leave a little to be desired. For example, Homeland - great jazz theme but does it really need to be 78 seconds long!? But then again the opposite can be true, as is the case with The Walking Dead - if only the show was as atmospheric and gripping as the titles.

Community should be on here. Not because the standard intro is impressive and catchy, but because the western, D&D, and Law and Order renditions of it are amazing.

Also, Family Guy over Simpsons. I get it, Simpsons has been on for a hundred years. But Family Guy also uses orchestras for many of their musical pieces, and the intro is better than even Elfman's number.

for anyone who's not see it there's a really interesting featurette on the DVD about how they made the intro sequence and the leonardo da vinci influence etc, although at the moment i'm wallowing in despair because I don't have Sky therefore season 2 is a far distant dream for me...

So glad that Dexter is on this list. I remember the first time I saw those titles and thinking how clever and original they were. Easily one of my favourite programmes on TV.

I feel an honourable mention should be made for Doctor Who, as the same music (albeit obviously altered and modernised) is being used today as it was with the first episode back in 1963. A timeless tune that is so iconic.

I also love the intro to Sherlock. Great music accompanied by images that show the beauty, but also the hidden grit of London.

Viewing titles for American Horror Story, I was reminded once again of how very influential those titles for Seven were - subliminal images over a scratchy soundtrack - seen over and over again since, but always effective. The US series Profiler (mid-nineties?) was the first I noticed that picked up the style. But, hey... Seven was and is a very fine film in so many ways......
